Alieke Tuin (born 24 January 2001) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger or left-back for Eredivisie club FC Twente.

Club career

[edit]

Tuin started her professional career at SC Heerenveen, signing in May 2020. She had played for the club's youth program for several years after playing for youth clubs with Hunsingo and Winsum.[1] She debuted in the first match of the 2020–21 Eredivisie season, playing the final five minutes of a 2–0 victory at Excelsior on 6 September. She played in 19 match, with only 1 start, topping out at 61 minutes in that start against VV Alkmaar.[2]

For the 2021–22 season, she transferred to VV Alkmaar.[3] She scored her first Eredivisie goal in her second match with Alkmaar, the lone score in a 1–0 win over ADO Den Haag on 3 September. Tuin started all but one of Alkmaar's matches in her one season with the club, scoring 3 goals.[4]

Tuin joined Fortuna Sittard for the 2022–23 season.[5] She knocked in 4 goals in two seasons in Sittard, starting all 44 of her club's Eredivisie matches.[6] She began playing more left back in October 2022 because she believed she had a clearer path to make the Dutch national team at that position.[7]

In March 2024, Tuin announced her move to FC Twente for the 2024–25 season on a two-year contract.[8] Her first goal for the Tukkers came on 18 September 2024 in a Champions League qualifying round match against ŽNK Osijek in Croatia. She scored another goal one week later when Osijek visited Enschede.[9]

International career

[edit]

On 6 April 2023, Tuin made her first appearance for the Netherlands U-23 team, where she started in a 2–0 win over Italy.[10]

Tuin has not played for the Dutch senior national team. Months before the 2023 World Cup, she was named to the provisional tournament squad,[11] but she was not chosen for the final World Cup squad.
